gcc-in-cxx branch created


As I promised at the summit today, I have created the branch
gcc-in-cxx (I originally said gcc-in-c++, but I decided that it was
better to avoid possible meta-characters).  The goal of this branch is
to develop a version of gcc which is compiled with C++.  Here are my
presentation slides in PDF format: http://airs.com/ian/cxx-slides.pdf .

I have not yet committed any patches to the branch--at present it is
just a copy of the trunk.  I will start committing patches soon, and
anybody else may submit patches as well.  The branch will follow the
usual gcc maintainership rules, except that any non-algorithmic
maintainer may additionally approve or commit patches which permit
compilation with C++.

I have committed the appended patch to htdocs/svn.html.
